    In 2018, a partial version of Qualcomm Eudora 7.1 source code for Windows emerged after lengthy negotiations, sparking a pivotal question: Could it be compiled and run? The venture, initially named HERMES Mail, commenced in 2019, coinciding with the
    onset of the coronavirus pandemic in Europe.

    The journey was riddled with challenges—from scope creep to staff turnover and finally a conflict between principles and the harsh truth of reality on the ground. Yet, against all odds, we persevered and triumphed. We owe this success to a remarkable
    group: our alpha testing team, many of whom are part of this Usenet community. To each of you, our gratitude knows no bounds. Thank you for making this endeavour possible.

    Amidst the noise, the undeniable truth stands tall: a direct descendant of QUALCOMM Eudora is here, not as a mere concept but as a tangible software available for installation on your Windows or Linux PC today.

    Now, let's delve into the heart of the matter. Our user base currently numbers a paltry three digits. Despite the potential for growth, the immense effort invested demands acknowledgment. While we can't offer it entirely for free, we've found a middle
    ground. Introducing HERMES Aurora, our offering now sold, as always, under a flexible pricing model: pay what you can. Even a single dollar contributed through our Indiegogo campaign (accessible at https://igg.me/at/hermes80) ensures lifetime access to
    the latest Aurora version. Let's be clear: this isn't a donation; it's a formal sales agreement. It's that straightforward. If Indiegogo isn't your preference for any reason, you can also opt for PayPal payments at https://paypal.me/nickmatavka.

    Peruse our Indiegogo page, and you'll notice the term "alpha" (we're currently on Alpha 24). Don't be misled! While we've labeled it as "alpha," it predominantly signifies the refinements we've made to enhance the user experience. The core of this
    product comprises robust, mature C++ code crafted by seasoned professionals in software engineering. Rest assured, what you're getting is far beyond the typical alpha stage chaos–it's a testament to our commitment to quality and reliability.

    "Eudora 8.0 is the name given to an attempt to make Thunderbird act
    like Eudora. You might do well to call your product something else
    since Eudora 8.0 has been taken by something that was a really poor
    attempt at Eudora.
